I have been super busy lately between teaching intro physics and working on my own research, so the craft ideas just haven't been coming to me lately. Luckily, this week I didn't have to come up with an idea of my own. Deanna, who keeps the physics department's main office looking festive throughout the year, called on the grad students to make some hand turkey decorations. I had some paper feathers left over from masquerade mask making and thought they would add a nice touch to the traditional hand turkeys. This craft is relatively easy to make and works well for crafters of all ages.
Physics department hand turkeys.
Materials:
*Brown cardstock (or whatever color you want your turkey to be)
*Red, yellow, and orange cardstock (or whatever colors you want the feathers to be)
*Scissors
*Glue
*Googly eyes
*Pencil
Directions:
*Trace your hand (or help your crafter trace their hand) onto the brown cardstock and cut out.
*Cut out feather shapes from red, orange, and yellow cardstock (if you search for feather template, you can find all sorts of feather shapes you could use).
*Glue feathers over the fingers of the hand template.
*Glue a googly eye to the thumb.
*Cut out beak and wattle shapes from orange and red cardstock and glue onto the thumb.
